    Just waiting for my tea to settle and then tackle some yoga.

    Have completed some cleaning and not too much left now for the weekend

    No alcohol consumed today or tonight and no bells ringing - making it AFD 23 today.

    Off to compile a shopping list for tomorrow and stock up on pop and squash!

    Absolutely!! Alcohol is chock full of sugar so when you suddenly stop drinking it your body gets a shock. I've never been a "sweet" person myself but when I'm not drinking I could eat cake for england!!
